Course Profile
Learning Outcomes of the Course:
Upon successful completion of this course the student will be able to:
1. Follow proper safety guidelines in the microbiology laboratory at all times.
2. Demonstrate logical approaches to problem solving by identifying unknown cultures.
3. Perform all basic procedures generally done in the clinical microbiology laboratory using aseptic techniques, including selection of media, Gram staining, isolating organisms, performing biochemical and serological identifications, and antibicrobial susceptibility testing.
